On Tuesday we went to the American Girl Store, in Natick MA, with Tia and Lisa. There is no shortage pink, little girls with dolls, or things to spend (a lot) of money on. The person who invented this brand is a gazillionaire! Anyway, we had lunch, did a little shopping and had a girly day!

A glimpse into our future with teenagers...."we don't want our picture taken"

This is a little better

each doll gets her own seat and a muffin.....of course she does!

A Little Sad

Emily loves to ride her bike. When we took her bike out from last year we realized it was VERY small and as luck would have it Toys R Us was also having a sale on bikes. So off we went to two different stores until we found the bike in her size. She does very well on the new bike and the old bike has already been handed down to our little friend Allie.

Why is this all sad, you might ask?

Well, just one more thing she outgrew and she is getting bigger by the minute and I can't do a thing to stop it.

Tia also got a new bike and was unsure how to ride it. Emily thought she was a big deal because she showed Tia how to ride a bike.

Proof

As the photographer in the family I am not in most photos. This is OK with me but sometimes I have to make it a point to be in a photo or two just to prove I was there and that Emily has a Mommy.

Who says you need music to dance...Emily must hear the music from "within"

Swimming

As I said before, Emily loved the pool in Cancun! She swam without her bubble a lot of the time but if she wanted to swim for a long period of time, or she was feeling tired she would put on her bubble. She is not strong enough to swim without it for an extended amount of time...but we are working on it!

We always bring a noodle with us and then pass it on to another family when we have to come home.

Tug-O-War

It is no secret how much I love the beach.

It is also no secret how much Emily loves to swim.

As you can see...there is a little conflict there.....

We just returned from a wonderful week in Cancun. Where, in the photos below, Emily had a great time at the beach.....which she did...the first morning we were there and then she only wanted to go to the pool. It was hard to get her out of the pool to even have lunch. So, below you will find the only photos of Emily on the beach. Many more to come of Emily in the pool.....

And yes, she won the tug-o-war....
